Well, we have gotten to the place where seniors had worked hard to get to.
The 11th and final week of the 2022 high school football season, and while some teams are still alive to realize their dreams of playing in the post season, others are ready to say goodbye to a sport they have worked hard to play all of their lives.
As some will take part in the state playoffs, others will prepare for college or get ready for a life ahead.
High school football has indeed been fun, and whether you are extending you football career or calling it quits after this week, it is something that you will look back at for years and years to come.
